Again, too many folks on stage make it nearly impossible to get any debating in. Perhaps while the field is this big each candidate should be given 12 minutes to answer the same 10 questions with a one minute intro and one minute outro. The question should be fact checked and the candidates should be made aware of it when making factual claims and not opinions.
1. Immigration
2. Military
3. Foreign Policy
4. Military
5. Health Care
6. Equal Pay
7. Education
8. Taxes
9. Jobs
10. Marijuana (not drugs)

*These could be some of the topics that questions are formed around and each candidate makes a prepared statement lasting 60 seconds on each. This way they should not go over the allotted time and we leave the “debate” structure for when the field narrows to 6 or less. Now the so called debates are restricting the time the public can spend getting to know what the candidates stand for and spin into name calling and media bashing. Buy the way – we still need to do some fact checking because we are not getting a clear honest picture.
